Boston man charged with upskirt photos of 11-year-old girl

BOSTON, MA — A Dorchester man was arraigned Monday on charges he took an upskirt photo of an 11-year-old girl as she walked to a bus stop last month, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced.

Officials said that during the June 6 incident on Wainwright Street, 28-year-old Agustin Jaramillo first handed the girl a cord, asked her to help him tie the knot, then bent down and told her he was going to pull up her sock. He then took a photo under her skirt while rubbing his hand on her leg, according to officials.

Later that day, authorities received a call from Conservatory Lab Charter School in Dorchester, where officials met with the girl and heard her story.

The girl gave a description of Jaramillo, whose identity was unknown at the time, and investigators found surveillance footage of a man matching the description interacting with the girl.

Police distributed still photos of the suspect and received a tip on June 27 from a community member who identified the man as Jaramillo.

Jaramillo was charged with indecent assault on a person under 14 and held on $500 bail.

He is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing on September 24.

“This young girl deserves great praise for telling school officials what happened to her that morning,” Hayden said. “This information, along with the valuable assistance of a community member, helped police identify and arrest the individual. This is another example of the community working with law enforcement to increase safety for all.”
